Governor Gavin Newsom is set to hold a rally on Sunday at Long Beach City College’s LAC from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to encourage people to vote yes on the right to abortion in the upcoming midterm election after the Supreme Court overturned Roe Vs. Wade in June.
The rally is part of an ongoing campaign to pass Proposition 1 which, “Amends California Constitution to expressly include an individual’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which includes the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and the fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives,” according to the California Voter Guide.
Governor Newsom made two notable visits to Long Beach City College in the past.
In 2021 Governor Newsom came to Long Beach to campaign for his recall election along with Joe Biden. Hundreds of people showed up in support of Newsom in 2021 but several conservatives came out to protest the rally.
In 2019 Governor Newsom made another visit to Long Beach City College to attend a meeting to discuss affordable housing.
College officials confirmed that a rally would be taking place but declined to give more detail as to who is speaking.
Governor Newsom sent out an email to supporters of the Democratic party announcing the event, however the exact location has yet to be announced.
